TRAP-β Activators
TRAP-β Activators encompass a diverse array of chemical compounds that influence various signaling pathways and cellular processes to enhance the functional activity of TRAP-β. These activators work through multiple mechanisms to achieve this effect. Forskolin, by stimulating adenylyl cyclase and increasing intracellular cAMP, leads to the activation of PKA, which may phosphorylate substrates that enhance TRAP-β's role in protein translocation. Ionomycin and A23187, by raising intracellular calcium levels, trigger calcium-dependent signaling cascades that can enhance TRAP-β activity, reflecting its importance in calcium-mediated cellular processes.
Thapsigargin and Cyclopiazonic Acid, through SERCA pump inhibition, cause an increase in cytosolic calcium levels, which in turn can activate kinases and phosphatases to modulate TRAP-β activity.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Forskolin | 66575-29-9 | sc-3562 sc-3562A sc-3562B sc-3562C sc-3562D | 5 mg 50 mg 1 g 2 g 5 g | $78.00 $153.00 $740.00 $1413.00 $2091.00 | 73 | |
Forskolin is a diterpenoid that activates adenylyl cyclase, increasing cAMP levels. Elevated cAMP activates PKA, which can phosphorylate and enhance the function of TRAP-β by increasing its ability to facilitate protein translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum. | ||||||
Ionomycin | 56092-82-1 | sc-3592 sc-3592A | 1 mg 5 mg | $78.00 $270.00 | 80 | |
Ionomycin is a calcium ionophore that elevates intracellular calcium levels. This increase can activate calcineurin, leading to dephosphorylation of NFAT, which then enters the nucleus and can promote the expression of genes that enhance the functional activity of TRAP-β. | ||||||
Thapsigargin | 67526-95-8 | sc-24017 sc-24017A | 1 mg 5 mg | $136.00 $446.00 | 114 | |
Thapsigargin is a SERCA pump inhibitor, which raises cytosolic calcium levels. The resultant calcium signaling can indirectly promote the activation of TRAP-β by stimulating calcium-dependent protein kinases, enhancing its role in protein processing. | ||||||
PMA | 16561-29-8 | sc-3576 sc-3576A sc-3576B sc-3576C sc-3576D | 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg 25 mg 100 mg | $41.00 $132.00 $214.00 $500.00 $948.00 | 119 | |
Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) activates Protein Kinase C (PKC), which can phosphorylate proteins that interact with TRAP-β, potentially enhancing its function in protein translocation. | ||||||
A23187 | 52665-69-7 | sc-3591 sc-3591B sc-3591A sc-3591C | 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg 25 mg | $55.00 $131.00 $203.00 $317.00 | 23 | |
A23187 is another calcium ionophore that increases intracellular calcium levels, triggering pathways that can result in the enhanced functional activity of TRAP-β through calcium-mediated signaling processes. | ||||||
Calyculin A | 101932-71-2 | sc-24000 sc-24000A | 10 µg 100 µg | $163.00 $800.00 | 59 | |
Calyculin A is a serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor, which can lead to the accumulation of phosphorylated proteins, potentially enhancing the activity of TRAP-β in the protein trafficking pathway. | ||||||
Okadaic Acid | 78111-17-8 | sc-3513 sc-3513A sc-3513B | 25 µg 100 µg 1 mg | $291.00 $530.00 $1800.00 | 78 | |
Okadaic Acid is a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, leading to increased phosphorylation levels within the cell. This can indirectly enhance the function of TRAP-β by maintaining phosphorylation states that favor its activation. | ||||||
Cyclopiazonic Acid | 18172-33-3 | sc-201510 sc-201510A | 10 mg 50 mg | $176.00 $624.00 | 3 | |
Cyclopiazonic Acid is another SERCA pump inhibitor, increasing cytosolic calcium levels, which can indirectly enhance the activity of TRAP-β through calcium-dependent signaling. | ||||||
